[Hackrf-dev] release 2014.08.1

[Dennis Liang]

At this point there should be a good wiki or something to post all the update questions...

And for my question, this update is for the release HACKRF Radios and the Clear Plastic Prototypes? Also Anyone have an ETA on the porta Packs? I plan to do some RF Demo with these devices soon.

The firmware upgrade guides are available and pretty well written:
https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/wiki/Updating-Firmware

This goes for everyone, if you are a complete linux noob and
uncomfortable with doing this upgrade, I'll have a new pentoo livedvd
out in a few days that will make following these directions much easier.
 Everything needed to update (and recover if needed) your hackrf will be
in the iso.  Gnuradio is tagging a new release today, I'm testing and
building a new livedvd over the weekend.

Thanks,
